In this video lecture, Prof. Burnett discusses how French filmmakers reinvented the concept of rhythm.
From the rise and fall of our breath to the rise and fall of the sun, rhythm structures our lives, is a source of healing, and provides a framework for creativity. Join us this February as we explore the fundamental role of rhythm in the human body, the clinical applications of rhythm in song and dance, the power of rhythm in language, and rhythmic forms that drive French film.
This is the second video in the 2018 MLA Lecture Series and features Colin Burnett, PhD, Assistant Professor in Film & Media Studies. The title of this lecture is "Rhythm à la française: How French Filmmakers Reinvented ‘Musical’ Perception."
